I had some hacker issues with my wordpress site, http://www.noeyedeer.co.za
so i did a fresh install imported the DB, but i did change the directory of my installation from root to /nowp/ i moved the index file and changed the link to wp-blog-header so in general it is working.

my issue now is on all the links it goes to "http://noeyedeer.co.zahttp//noeyedeer.co.za/..../..." etc if i click the back button in goes to the correct link "http://noeyedeer.co.za/..../..." (notice the http//, missin colon and extra noeyedeer.co.za)

i have looked at the .htaccess file and all looks good, i have tried updating permalinks and still the same result?

has anyone got any idea what could be wrong?

PS: images arent working as I havent uploaded all of the again since the reinstall

I am very disappointed. Never mind, that seems to be way of WordPress. See ya. M

This is how my CURRENT access file looks like (at least the WordPress part of it).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)thecatswhiskers.nl.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://jetpack\.wordpress\.com/jetpack-comment/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]

</IfModule>
# END Better WP Security

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

This is at the end of the file, there is some stuff from a security plugin before that.

At this moment, In my Permanlinks settings I can only choose from the following:

Default http://thecatswhiskers.nl/?p=123
Day and name http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/2013/02/27/sample-post/
Month and name http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/2013/02/sample-post/
Numeric http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/archives/123
Post name http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/sample-post/
Custom Structure http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog

Where it used to be without "blog". What I want is something like this:

Custom Structure http://thecatswhiskers.nl/%classification*%/%Sample-post%/ (*or whatever it was termed - I don't know the specific terminology).

That is to say "site - my classifcation - my post".

Any suggestions? Thanks, Moriarty

I have my wordpress installed…

You are asking in the wrong forum. Head over to wordpress.org for help.

There are various sorts of wordpress, and this forum is for wp.com: our answers won't help you because our platform is different.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

http://wordpress.org/

But now I want to change the wordpress- and site address in the general settings to the shorter url, which is causing troubles.
I first only changed the site address, because the other one can be the longer one. If I then go to: http://domain.nl/wp.domain.nl/sample-page/ it shows the error page instead of the page I want to see when I have the longer url filled in.

The htaccess I use for the main domain is:
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M<br /> php_value post_max_size 20M<br /> php_value max_execution_time 200<br /> php_value max_input_time 200</p> <p>AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .gif .jpg .jpeg .png<br /> php_flag short_open_tag Off<br /> php_flag display_errors off</p> <p>RewriteEngine on<br /> Options +FollowSymlinks<br /> RewriteBase /</p> <p># REDIRECT MAIN DOMAIN<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.nl$<br /> # /subfolder/<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/www.domain.nl/<br /> # Don't change this line.<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br /> # /subfolder/<br /> RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /www.domain.nl/$1<br /> # site<br /> # subfolder/<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.nl$<br /> RewriteRule ^(/)?$ www.domain.nl/ [L]</p> <p># SUBDOMAINS to /sub.domain.nl/<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.nl$ [NC]<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.nl$ [NC]<br /> RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.nl/%1.domain.nl/$1 [P,L]

This should do the following:
http://www.domain.nl -> http://www.domain.nl/www.domain.nl
sub.domain.nl -> http://www.domain.nl/sub.domain.nl

I have a primary domain as example:
mydomain.co.uk
and I want to prevent a user browsing to 2 sub domains
mydomain.co.uk/subdomaina
mydomain.co.uk/subdomainb

Heres my htaccess file:
rewriteengine on</p> <p># BEGIN WordPress<br /> <IfModule mod_rewrite.c><br /> RewriteBase /</p> <p></IfModule><br /> # END WordPress<br /> rewriterule ^index\.php$ - [L]<br /> rewritecond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br /> rewritecond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br /> rewriterule . /index.php [L]<br /> rewriterule ^index\.php$ - [L]<br /> rewritecond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br /> rewritecond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br /> rewriterule . /index.php [L]<br />

How would I add allow/deny or rewrite conditions to the above to prevent loading the 2 sub domains?

Thanks for any help you can offer :)

How do I do that in a statement (like .htaccess ??) and where do I put this file (the root of the FTP-server, or the root of the directory, or else)

redirect the FTP-folder of the old site - and 'old links' - to the main wordpress.com blog/site

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

I can delete the content, but would like to "play save" for the moment and redirect the FTP-folder of the old site - and 'old links' - to the main wordpress.com blog/site.

If your old site is a plain html site then you have a bunch of copy and pasting to do

You domain name can be mapped to your blog here once you get the content moved: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

The main/original URL has been relinked already to the WordPress.com-site.
I have not installed WordPress on a server; I use the online WordPress.com environment for displaying and editing.

However, I don't want to delete all the content/directory immediately on the webserver, and am wondering if by means of a .htaccess file this directory can be rerouted to the WordPress-environment.

If htaccess is not the perfect way, which is? And how do I do this?

Which full statement do I have to use - and place this file in the root of the webserver?

I have two sites i made recently. Both have all wordpress files in a seperate /wordpress directory. So to get into wp-admin, you need to type in /wordpress/wp-admin, as opposed to just /wp-admin after the url.

One site however still redirects to the admin login when I type in /wp-admin
after the home url.

The other gives me a 404 error, which is ideally what I want.

Im not sure why the other redirects straight to /wordpress/wp-admin login after typing in just "/wp-admin" after "www.website.com.au"

I want it to go to an 404 error page like the other website so that people cant just type in wp-admin. (not many people go as far as to type /wordpress/wp-admin)

I basically created these two sites simultaneously and the behavior is different. I know someone on here will know what this is straight away.

Thanks in advance! :)

The old blog will not appear to visitors at all. They will be immediately and seamlessly redirected to the content on your new site.

If I want to be able to use outside advertising, that alone requires me to buy an outside domain and hosting. Given that I will be putting my content on a new domain, how can I most gracefully forward traffic from my .wordpress.com domain to the new domain?

The impression I'm getting is that a site redirect is the best way to do that. (1) Is this all correct? And if I do that, (2) how will my old .wordpress.com blog appear to incoming visitors, will they be redirected to the new blog immediately? (I'm just curious about #2.)

Best,

So, if I understand, WP offers two things that could help me: the domain mapping and site redirect upgrades. But domain mapping still does not allow third party advertising, so says the manual.

However, if I buy a new domain from a third party registrar, and hosting as well, I could purchase a site redirect from WP and send my traffic from my old .wordpress.com to the new domain, correct? Finally, what would happen to my old .wordpress.com content? Would it still exist or would any incoming traffic automatically redirect to the analogous URL on the new domain?

Thanks again,
bookrate

If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers. The nameservers control where traffic for the domain goes using DNS. If you are moving from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, you can enter the nameservers provided by your web hosting company to switch your domain to their hosting service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

Or have you purchased a site redirect upgrade from WordPress.com?
Are you leaving WordPress.com? Would you like to redirect yourblogname.wordpress.com (as well as all of your permalinks) to your new domain name? http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

If you do not purchase either one then all those old .wordpress.com URLs will become broken links and for months every time they are clicked they will prouced a 404 (page not found) error message, until the search engines like Google index them again under the new domain URLs and clear their caches (3 – 6 months).

The reason we purchase domain mapping is so that all the URLs from the .wordpress.com root blog when clicked seamlessly redirect to the same content in the post under the new domain URLs.

The pagerank and authority the blog earned was earned by the .wordpress.com URLs and belongs to them. It’s not transferable. so what that means is the domain starts from zero. In about 4 – 6 months time the content will all be re-indexed by search engines under the domain URLs and all things being equal the blog will probably have the same pagerank and authority it had prior to purchasing domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/

I've looked around for the best way to do this and I'm worried that the most common suggested techniques won't work on a hosted blog. First, I can't change the .htaccess file on a WordPress.com hosted blog, so I can't add redirects there. Second, I can't add a rel="canonical" link in the header of the page because I can't edit the template on the site...

Is there any other way to do this that I'm missing? I could always just litter my old blog with links to the new domain, but that's not the most elegant solution...

Thanks for your help!
